Dark Sky problem

[stewart45]

Anyone having problems with Dark Sky forecast block loading, the last 2 days all I get is a blank page with loading..... on it, (Update) just tried it on Chrome browser and it loads OK, so must be something to do with Firefox

Actually yes. I have been having problems mostly using windows 10 Developers addition I.E. browser and received a message from the developers team at windows that I.E. will no longer be supported after mid July 2018 I believe. I rarely use windows I.E. as it has been causing me problems saving MT's main setup page the pas few months. I have strictly been using Firefox and chrome but have noticed that they also are having issues from time to time especially in java and flash base sites. If you haven't read, all browsers are doing away with java/flash and forcing page writers to use html5 pages.

Having a developers edition of windows 10 only benefits me in only in that I get newer updates before normal users of windows 10 who have no choice but to accept newer updates. I can delay updates and wait till I hear about the issues other developers are having but once I accept a new update I can not revert back to the good known copy I had before. I know try to do all my MT changes using Linux having the least amount of problems.

Yes I have noticed also firefox and chrome the past few months struggling with page loads from time to time.

The reason all this is happening is they want to control your pages so they can stick there advertising on your page. Both Google and Bing have already contacted me to allow this and I have to remind them I am not allowed to have advertising on my site due to GPL license restrictions. I personally do not what to open my site to that annoying advertising that slows my page loads. This is not a commercial site with millions of hits a day to make money. It's only a local weather site as a hobby and to the benefit of local residence.

Not sure how I got on this rant but the top few lines are your answer.

I can guarantee you that Google is NOT trying to place ads on your website against your will. If you are getting emails from Google ads YOU asked for them. I'm not as familiar with Bing, since I refuse to use it, but I doubt that they are trying to force ads against your will either.

Not having time to re-read my post I don't remember saying Google or bing wanting to place ads on my sites against my wiil. If I did I mis-spoke and rather they asked me since I have other google accounts... Map, API, youtube, UI and whatever else I have with the same name and email and a standard email offering $150 in credit both google and bing but that is for me paying them for more exposure. No Thanks. It wouldn't be hard for google to crawl these sites and realize they are linked Since Google API's are shared. Not sure if that was the message I as ranting or not. Bing also crawls my sites. I don't like Bing also but posted my sites for the exposure effect. Not really getting allot of hits from bing but there are a very now and then. Not sure if that was the message I said I didn't want advertising on my sites.
